To calculate the individual's gross income, we need to add together their salary, earnings from the side job, and the rent they receive.

Salary = $4000 per month
Side job = $20 per hour x 10 hours per week x 4 weeks = $800 per month
Rent = $1000 per month

Gross income = Salary + Side job + Rent
Gross income = $4000 + $800 + $1000
Gross income = $5800

Therefore, their gross income is $5800.
